Mamdani: "My message to ICE agents & to everyone across this city is that everyone will be held to the same standard of the law. If you violate it, you must be held accountable. There is sadly a sense growing that certain people are allowed to violate that law, whether they be POTUS or ICE agents."

This one shouldn't get lost tonight.

Would you like to explain what the firings are about?

It doesn’t get more pathetic than this. What a complete loser.

Culture recs: The best free (and almost free) apps for movies, TV, books, and music How to stay entertained without feeling like you're part of the problem

Meredith Blake shares a guide to “free and cheaper-than-your-cup-of-coffee at-home entertainment options for the politically conscious cord-cutter” in this week’s culture recs.

Tearing down the People’s House for a pay-to-play palace This project is more than an architectural change; it is the physical manifestation of this administration’s core tenets

“Trump is literally turning the White House into a reflection of himself: tacky, transactional, and built on a con.” Read Jeff Nesbit’s latest on Trump lying. What’s new?

If a temporary resident of the White House can totally demolish the East Wing to build a gaudy ballroom, without any authority, approval, or regulation, he can tear down the rest of the White House to build a Walmart. That this destruction is allowed underscores how off the rails our country is now.

Homeland security ad- if it were historically accurate and constitutional - George Washington celebrating No Kings for all Americans!

A woman’s right to vote, inviolable for 105 years, right? Reminder, 2016 Republican Convention Speaker Abby Johnson, supported Household Voting w/the one household vote belonging to men. The same Christian Nationalist agenda is supported by Hegseth. But hey, like Roe, that won’t ever change, right?

Donald Trump Jr with a truth bomb! “Ask yourself this question daily and the answer becomes apparent!!”

Sure does

EXCLUSIVE: I Have Ghislaine Maxwell's Security Score, Custody Level, Transfer Code, and Sex Offender Waiver I have reviewed an electronic file that includes some of the information Senator Whitehouse is demanding from the Bureau of Prisons.

BREAKING: EXCLUSIVE: Senator Whitehouse asked the BOP for Ghislaine Maxwells sex offender waiver, custody level, transfer code, and security point score. I have them. She's also been granted the ability to leave the facility for work assignments. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/exclusive-...

It is not anti MD at all. It is pro consumer- cautionary tale. Journalism has a responsibility.
Also consumers need to have access to information to support self advocacy.
I have to tell my MDs that I can not take anything in the antihistamine family without hanging from the ceiling.

Antihistamines can have similar impact and they do not even require a prescription.
Also any drug with a “Caine” at the end- millions of people are allergic to and have sometimes catastrophic reactions to small doses. Codeine is another frequently used med that allergies are common.

this information should not be shocking -it is well known. any MD worth their salt should use prednisone cautiously and with careful tapering protocols. Many people are pushed into hypomania by this med -for those who are already wired for mood disruptions than they should not take them at all.

This right here......

"We want to be a model to the world. We want people to look at us and people to say ‘we want to be like the United States,' not 'oh God, the United States, what are they doing?'"

Rep. Steven Horsford to Greer: "So the trade representative hasn't spoken to the POTUS about a global reordering of trade, but yet he announced it on a tweet? WTF! Who is in charge? It looks like your boss just pulled the rug out from under you. There is no strategy ... is this market manipulation?"

Fired Federal Workers Ask Senators to Stand Up for Them (Gift Article) Former federal employees went to a Capitol Hill basement to find the lawmakers. Democratic senators said that they would keep fighting as hard as they could. Most Republicans ignored the workers.
